Awards and Training

The British Phycological Society has set aside funds to support student projects, students attending the Society’s Annual Meeting and other meetings specifically concerned with algal biology, including non-award-bearing courses (for example at field centres) primarily concerned with algae.

Funds are not unlimited, so preference will be given to those presenting papers or posters at the Annual Meeting. For meeting applications, preference will also be given to those presenting posters or papers and to attendees at courses over those simply attending meetings.

In addition to awards for student activities, the British Phycological Society funds a competitive project awards programme to support hypothesis-driven projects that promote and further phycology, its applications and dissemination.

Upcoming Events

The British Phycological Society publishes the European Journal of Phycology, and organises an Annual Meeting each year at locations throughout Britain and Ireland. It provides funding for students and others to attend meetings and fieldcourses and organises and funds annual field courses.
